There might be some data type you're using that happens, by pure luck, 
to be defined on Linux - or perhaps on other UN*Xes - by the header 
files you happen to be including, but that's not defined on Windows by 
the header files you're including.

I'd have to see your source code, however, in order to be able to do 
much more than just say that.

You're not using "u_int", "u_short", "u_long", or any of those types, 
are you?  If so, don't - use the GLib types, such as "gint", "guint", 
"guint32", "guint16", "guint8", etc..
